Republicans on the House Oversight Committee and the House Judiciary Committee announced on Friday that they would step up their bids to consider a resolution and report holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena.

We were going to question Hunter Biden about this transcript of evidence, but he blatantly ignored two lawful subpoenas and stormed out of the Capitol building instead of appearing to testify as required. ,” said Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.jointly said statement.
